Apple Bread…mmmm….

Hope you aren’t yet sick of seeing apple recipes. Because I’m sure not yet sick of making them! If you are, then I hope these pictures will butter you up a bit so that you can enjoy the soft, sweet bread that this this recipe will give you. I know my family can’t get enough of it. I left my apples chunky so I can really taste the apple. Mmmm….

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups apples – peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
1 cup broken walnuts

Directions

Stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt and then set aside.

Add oil, eggs, sugar, applesauce, vanilla and apples into mixing bowl.

Add to flour mixture and stir. Add walnuts and stir some more! (Warning: Batter will be thick!)

Divide mixture into two greased 8-in. x 4-in. bread pans or four mini loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees  for 40-45 minutes if larger loaves or 35-40 minutes if mini-loaf  or until toothpick inserted in middle come out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes on wire rack before removing from pan. If using silicone they should just pop out. Mine were a breeze!

Enjoy your bread with some coffee and apple butter or regular butter lathered on top. Yummy!
